Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 5EP
Check with one of your fellow students (or your instructor) to see if the results agree. Notice that there are no other forces acting in the direction of motion (remember, no air resistance). Then, use this force component in Newton’s second law and solve for a. Does your result for the acceleration of the bob (and ultimately its pattern of motion) include the mass?
